[177] Dust on the gantry rail
When to do
If you notice any dirt or ink on the gantry rails, or an accumulation of debris on the grey
rail bearing shields, clean them immediately with a Poly-Wipe lint-free cloth.
Note:
Gently wipe dirt or debris from the gantry rails or bearing shields to avoid removing the
lubricating grease.
Attention:
In the event of an ink spill on the rail, it should be cleaned immediately, before the
bearings have a chance to run over the spill. After the area has been cleaned, wipe the
spill area again thoroughly with a water-moistened lint-free cloth to remove any chemical
residue before running the gantry over the area again. Slight ink stains that remain on
the rail after cleaning are not a major problem.
How to Clean the Rails and Bearing Block
1.
Open the Maintenance Station cover to ensure that there is no possible gantry or carriage
movement.
2. Use a dry lint-free cloth to remove any visible debris that has accumulated next to the
runner bearing shields. It is only necessary to clean the outside bearing shields. When
removing debris always wipe away from the shields so you don't push dust into the
bearing block.
3.
Wipe any debris from the gantry rails. Do this gently so that you do not remove the grease
that lubricates the bearings as they move along the rails.
4.
Close the Maintenance Station cover.
